The OWASP Latam Tour objective is to raise awareness about application security in the Latin America region, so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about true application security risks. Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and all of our materials are available under a free and open software license.

We are proposing a chapters training driven model in which the courses are free for OWASP members and students, the contents are OWASP projects focused and the costs are supported by a mix of funding i.e. local chapter budget, external sponsorship, trainers sponsorship i.e. trip and/or accommodation paid by themselves and local chapter members’ sponsorship i.e. taking trainers in as guests.

The Latam Tour CTF will be a competition in which participants compete for prizes in a test of application and network hacking skills. The contestants will participate in real-world scenarios designed to simulate vulnerabilities discovered in production environments. The competition will focus on application security but participants should arrive ready with an arsenal of skill-sets to complete these challenges.

Rules:

Competitors are allowed to team up with a other contestants but prizes are only available for four (4) participants. All participants must physically attending the Tour and external access ot the system is not available. Additionally, we are bound by the Convention Center’s hours of operation to conduct the CTF so this will not be an all night competition.

The scoring system and any other system NOT designated as “In-Scope” is considered OFF-LIMITS and any malicious activity towards or on those systems will result in an immediate disqualification for the team from which the participant(s) exists.

Contestants will use their own equipment to compete with but it is HIGHLY recommended that contestants do not bring equipment which hosts personal or sensitive data.
Scoring will take place via a web-based scoreboard portal. Teams will have individual logins that will be required to submit points.

Resources:

Internet access will be offered at the conference as a means to obtain tools necessary for the competition, but we recommend that you bring the necessary tools to the event. We cannot guarantee access to all sites via the standard convention network, and visiting some sites you would normally obtain hacking tools from may be blocked from the normal convention Wi-Fi. OWASP Latam Tour will provide an isolated the environment and systems which will host the vulnerable applications.
